Luckiest Man Alive

She said “yes.” I am indescribably happy to report that Carla and I are engaged. After a brief hike up to the monastery in Namche and with a cloud-enshrouded Thamserku peak as our backdrop, I asked her to continue our incredible journey together as husband and wife. Perhaps, she was hypoxic when answering since we were at nearly 12,000′, but I’ve since been assured that she meant it. Couldn’t be happier.

Very exciting, new chapter to begin when I return in June… celebrations to follow soon thereafter!

Congratulations! We are so excited for you two. You had to go and make everyone else’s engagement look boring. A monastary, cloud covered mountains, etc… You romantic! Look forward to celebrating on your return.

Thanks, brother. Although we are small in numbers, we are strong in quality!!! She is very thankful that the family has always been so welcoming and is excited to become an “official” member of the Walkley clan!

I’ve believed she was your “one” since you first told me about her:-)). Looking forward to meeting her, ha ha (and seeing you again after a few years away). All the best, in so excited for you both! Yay!!

We are overjoyed for you and Carla. We will have a champagne toast to you both and the exciting new adventures ahead of you when we see your parents next month.
We send best wishes and love.
Susan and Bill

Carla – Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to the family. I am OVERJOYED to awake to such amazing news. I can’t wait to hear all the details from you. You bring such joy to this family.
Jim – I can’t even express how happy I am for you. Welcome to the club.
Will is excited for you both as well!

Congratulations! One more thing to cross off my “things I hope to see before I die list.” I was just talking with mike Preiser this week and we were discussing if Jim would ever get married. I am so very happy for both of you.

Thanks, Marty! Hopefully, there’s still a lot on that list!!! Please tell Preiser that all good things come to an end (and hopefully segue into something even better)! That is certainly the plan in this case.

Congratulations Jim and Carla. A woman that follows you in such a crazy adventure has proven to be a great wife. Carla we will celebrate when upon your return with tequila and of course the bottle of cachaça I still owe you. Salud to both!
